The MIT Kerberos Team announces the availability of the krb5-1.4.4 release. The detached PGP signature is available without going through the download page, if you wish to verify the authenticity of a distribution you have obtained elsewhere. This is a maintenance release; the krb5-1.5.x series is newer.
The only significant change in krb5-1.4.4 is to fix the security vulnerabilities decribed in MITKRB5-SA-2006-001, which are local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in applications running on Linux and AIX.
Please see the README file for a complete list of changes.
